Working in Pontypool
In Pontypool we cover NP4 and NP44; we also cover Cwmbran, 3.4 miles away, and Risca.
Homes in and around Pontypool vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Pontypool houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. We check the floor under the bath during a Pontypool survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Hardness differs from one part of Gwent to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Pontypool. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
Decisions to make first
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
Rules that apply in Wales
In Wales, the Welsh Part P covers more electrical work than in England, and a new electric shower circuit must be notified. Disabled Facilities Grants in Wales can be up to £36,000, approved by the council before work begins.
